APARTAMENTOS TURÍSTICOS ALHAMBRA

I booked through Airbnb but my time ran out for leaving a review - I'm leaving one here because I just couldn't not comment on how PERFECT this place is! If you're looking for somewhere to stay in Granada, stop looking, you've found your place. Juan was so attentive and responsive and gave loads of great tips on arriving at the apartments and for tourism in Granada in general. There are many comments about the climb, but honestly I didn't find it difficult at all. If you're a normal level of fitness (I'm no athlete!) and are able to carry your bags it shouldn't be a problem at all, and Juan will also give you tips on how best to avoid the climb (you can book a taxi directly with him which will take you as close as possible, other drivers will stop at the bottom of the street.) The location is perfect, in the middle of the beautiful area of Albaicin which makes the climb to the Alhambra and the caves much shorter. I'd recommend it far more than staying down in the centre. The views are absolutely incredible, I think the best that you'll find in the city, and all private for the apartment block with enough tables and chairs for all residents. There are also laundry services. The apartment itself felt so clean and luxurious, with all necessities, a powerful shower, a shatafa/bidet, heating, plenty of towels and free coffee/tea/olive oil. You can order to get a breakfast delivered to your door or the patio, I'd recommend this for days when you're short on time and don't want to wander around looking for food! It's so much food and all purchased fresh for you :) Juan is also happy to substitute the ham for cheese if you're vegetarian. All staff I interacted with were so lovely. I stayed during a cold and rainy period (mid Nov) and the heating was so appreciated. But the buildings are quite dark with shutters AND AC so I imagine it's also great in the heat of the summer too! And there's a little vending machine too for drinks! For the price, you genuinely can't get any better. Thanks for the most wonderful stay, I'll be back

PROs: The terrace vith the view over the Alhambra is simply amazing.
Room was ok, maybe a little bit tiny (especially the bathroom) but cozy at the same time (I've booked the standard room).
Its location in the middle of the Albaycin is also a plus!
The host Juan has been perfect, welcoming and always available for all the questions / advices we asked for. We booked the parking but he was so honest to tell us to leave the car in the free public parking we were lucky to find next to the apartment parking!

CONs: To fully exploit the possibility of having breakfast in the terrace, with the amazing view over the Alhambra, I'll try to manage also the hot beverage, not asking customers to make their own coffee.
Last but not least, I will take into account the possibility of using a lighter bed sheet together with the duvet, duvet alone was excessively hot actually!

5 star hotel view at 2 star hotel price!! The hotel sits in a very quiet street in Abycin area, very close to restaurants, about 20 -30 mins walk to Alhambra. The view from the roof terrace is amazing, much better than st Nicolas in my opinion and it is private. Juan is a great host, since we have a car, I am very anxious about driving in the restricted area with narrow streets. Juan sent detail driving instructions in advance and met us to park and he also guided me on my way out after check in which helps me a lot. Thank you Juan. We will be back????

Car-navigation to be placed on "Carretera de Murcia 146". Turn RIGHT there. Pass the METAL BARRIER PILLAR of the PRE-to-be-announced-CAR-VEHICLE REGISTRATION PLATE & drive straight through, downhill, 10 km/h, for some 600 meters and when you SEE already the 90° bottom-right-curve in front of you, 100 m. BEFORE: TURN RIGHT, underneath an arch, with plastic GREEN-STRIPED flexible pillars. After 200 m. you arrive at destination.
